Eat Drink Sleep DR I N K I N S A N F R A NC I S C O Puncher's Chance "A lot of my inspiration for cocktails comes from food. I had a dish some months back at a Burmese restaurant that used coconut and black sesame seeds, and I knew I had to make a cocktail geared toward that combination. So when we held an event this past October called the Mission Margarita Brawl, where 10 bars in the neighborhood had to make their take on a margarita, I thought to myself, What if I got black sesame seeds, ground them up, and added some salt to make the salt rim? This punch-style cocktail works well because, on the front, you've got the smokiness from the mezcal, and on the finish, the driving acidity with the coconut. We won the brawl."
